Dhello, dear visitors of the Orthodox site "Family and Faith"!
Why then, when you receive communion, the Holy Mysteries sometimes taste like bread, and sometimes like Flesh? Does this mean that some time you partake into eternal life, and some time into condemnation?
When you receive communion, you feel that your soul is light, but after a while (on the same day) this state passes, the soul is again heavy. You feel the absence of God. The same passions come up again. What do we have to do?
These questions are answered by archimandrite Ambrose (Fontrier):
"TOwhen the righteous John of Kronstadt served in the cathedral, two young people came to him. They were going to receive communion. One read the rule, and the second, very tired, could not. And both came to church. The one who read it calmly approached Communion, and the righteous John of Kronstadt did not allow him. And the other, with a broken heart, said to himself: “Lord, I so want to receive You; but I did not read the rule, I am so disgusting, so disgusting ... ”Condemning himself, he went to the Chalice, and the righteous John of Kronstadt gave him communion. The most important thing for the Lord is our contrite heart, the awareness of our unworthiness. St. John Chrysostom says: “If we prepare for a thousand years, we will never be worthy - we must hope for the mercy of God. If the Lord does not help, we will not be able to partake worthily. "
- Why then, when you receive communion, the Holy Mysteries sometimes taste like bread, and sometimes like Flesh? Does this mean that some time you partake into eternal life, and some time into condemnation?
- If a person feels that he accepts the Flesh, then the Lord gives it to strengthen the faith. But it’s right to taste the bread. The Lord Himself says: “I am the bread of Life” (John 6:35).
Many people have told me about this. Quite recently, a woman called from Kiev and said: “Father, my faith is weak. When I went to Communion today, I was poorly prepared. Father gave me a small particle, and at the Chalice I thought: “What kind of Flesh can there be? When I don't even feel with my tongue that he put something in my mouth? A little bit, a little bit. And I just couldn't eat that piece. She was in my mouth and held on. I came home - my mouth is full of meat. I just can't swallow. For several hours I sobbed, cried, asked the Lord - it's a pity to throw it away, but I can't swallow it! Then the Lord freed - I swallowed and now I'm calling. What, have I sinned terribly? " “Repent that you doubted it,” I tell her.
We know that the Lord performed the first miracle when He transformed wine from water. It costs Him nothing to transform His Blood out of wine, and Flesh out of bread. A person does not receive a part of the flesh, but the Living Christ enters into each who receives communion.
- When you receive communion, you feel light in your soul, but after a while (on the same day) this state passes, the soul is again heavy. You feel the absence of God. The same passions come up again. What do we have to do?
- We must prepare ourselves the day before. We must fast well - "This same kind of demonic is expelled only by prayer and fasting" (Matthew 17:21), so you need to pray well the day before, warm up your soul, fast - the passions will go away.
After Communion, one should try to remain in prayer, to maintain peace of mind. Those who like to be self-willed, rebel, do not value the Sacrament. They received communion - and immediately they had an offense, and hysteria, and rebellion next to them. This is because everything happens not by their will. They must rebel, break everything to the end, all relations. There are still many such people, they are called rebels. They value nothing, they value nothing. The most important thing is that everything should be as they wish. And if (God forbid) something is against them, everyone around them becomes enemies, and there will never be peace in the soul until death. This is the most terrible state of the human soul. A person lives by his own will, and no one has the right to tell him anything. And so everything is fine with them, just do not touch them - they will sting ... ”.
Even with careful planning of air travel, unforeseen situations may arise. They cause you to miss your flight. What to do in this case?
If you are late for check-in, but the plane has not taken off yet
There is a way out of this situation. The first option is to contact an airline employee. He will tell you how to proceed if you are late for check-in for the plane. What should a latecomer do? There is another option - you need to go to a special counter where late passengers are checked in for the flight. This service is chargeable and can be quite expensive. But that's better than canceling the trip altogether.
If you are late for boarding
This can happen if the passenger checked in online. He no longer needed to arrive at the airport several hours before. He could spend this time at his own discretion.
It should be noted that there is a time frame for servicing the aircraft at the airport. Boarding ends 20-25 minutes before departure. This time is set aside for all passengers to sit in their seats and prepare for the flight.
If you miss your plane, you need to contact an airline employee for help. Perhaps he will be able to take you on board, having previously informed that the passenger is delayed.
Important! If the boarding has already been completed, being late may be fraught with penalties. They are used as a result of delays caused by the fault of the passenger.
To prevent this from happening, you need to timely register and board the plane.
If you are late for check-in and the plane has already taken off
And this situation is not considered hopeless. If it occurs, you need to contact an airline employee for help. He will tell you all the nuances of returning your boarding pass.
Generally, business and first class passengers can redeem them for boarding passes for the next flight. In this case, you need to pay a small commission. If you have economy or tourist class air tickets, you will have to return them and purchase new ones for a suitable flight.
Boarding passes for aircraft are returned in accordance with the established rules of the airline.
Before buying a ticket, you need to carefully read the fares and conditions of return on the official website of the air carrier.
If a passenger misses the plane and the ticket was purchased through an intermediary, he / she needs to contact him directly.
It is worth considering the following:
- There are two types of air tickets - refundable and non-refundable. The latter will not accept a return and will not refund money for them. There are exceptions, which are described in the airline's boarding pass return policy.
- The commission will be written off not only in favor of the air carrier, but also in favor of the intermediary.
- When purchasing a single ticket for a connecting flight, subsequent tickets are canceled.
It will turn out to return a small percentage of the ticket price.
If you missed your connecting flight
In this case, the situation is a little more complicated. If the passenger missed the plane, and there is a transfer during the flight, the ticket for the second flight will have to be canceled. It will not be possible to return the money for it. You need to purchase a new ticket.
A similar situation can occur if the passenger did not get on the flight and tickets were purchased on both sides of the route. The second boarding pass is also subject to cancellation. For it, airlines return the money minus commission and service charges.
Advice! To avoid conflict situations, you need to familiarize yourself with the fares and rules for returning tickets on the airline's website. You can also do this by calling the operator.
If you missed your connecting flight due to the fault of the air carrier
In this case, contact a company representative. If the flight is served by another carrier, you need to go to its check-in counter and put a mark on the delayed departure.
According to the established rules, the carrier is obliged to provide customers with the following:
- free phone for calls;
- hotel room if the flight is delayed for more than 8 hours;
- free meals.
Coupons for it can be obtained from the representative of the airline.
All this is possible if the passenger has purchased one flight ticket with a transfer. If he bought two separate boarding passes, the airline is not responsible for being late for the second flight.
Can I get my money back if I missed my plane?
Many passengers are interested in how to get money for a ticket back. This can be done. It is better to ask the airline employee how to get your boarding pass refunded. Also, this information is posted on the websites of all companies.
Funds are returned in full in such cases:
- delay or postponement of the flight due to the fault of the carrier;
- cancellation of boarding at the destination due to unforeseen circumstances;
- flight delay for several hours due to the fault of the airline;
- changing the aircraft model;
- death of the passenger or his close relatives.
Whether the money will be returned for non-refundable tickets is a moot point. If the coupon was purchased at a low cost, it is unlikely that you will be able to get money for it. Business and First Class tickets can be exchanged.
What if I didn't have time to come to the doctor to close the sick leave?
Good day! Did you explain the reasons to the doctor?
According to Part 1 of Art. 14 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ "On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood" (hereinafter - Law N 255-FZ), the temporary disability benefit is calculated based on the average earnings of the insured person, calculated for two calendar years preceding the year of temporary disability, including during the time of work (service, other activities) with another policyholder (other policyholders). Temporary disability benefit in case of loss of ability to work due to illness or injury is paid to an insured person who has an insurance record of up to 5 years, in the amount of 60% of the average earnings (part 1 of article 7 of Law N 255-FZ). In accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of part 1 of Art. 8 of Law N 255-FZ, violation by the insured person without good reason during the period of temporary disability of the regime prescribed by the attending physician, failure to appear for a medical examination at the appointed time are grounds for reducing the amount of temporary disability benefit. According to p. 60, 61 of the Procedure for issuing certificates of incapacity for work by medical organizations, approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated 01.08.2007 N 514, the fact of failure to appear or untimely appearance of the insured person for an appointment with a doctor must be recorded by the attending physician in the certificate of incapacity for work. In case of late attendance at the doctor's appointment, in the line “Notes on violation of the regimen”, the attending physician must indicate the date of the untimely attendance, and also put his signature. In the case when a citizen, after the issuance or extension of the certificate of incapacity for work, did not appear at the appointment, and at the next visit was recognized as able-bodied, in the line "Start work" of the certificate of incapacity for work, an entry is made: "Was able-bodied" (indicating the date of appearance), free lines of the column " From what date ”and“ To what date inclusively ”tables“ Exemption from work ”are drawn with a“ Z ”sign. If the citizen, after the issuance or extension of the certificate of incapacity for work, did not appear at the reception, and at the next visit was recognized as disabled, then in the lines of the column "From what date" and "To what date inclusive" of the table "Exemption from work" the period of absence of the citizen for the appointment is entered to the doctor and a corresponding mark is made in the line “Notes on violation of the regime”. However, the mark on the certificate of incapacity for work on untimely appearance (about non-appearance) for an appointment with a doctor does not in itself indicate the absence of valid reasons (see, for example, the decree of the FAS of the West Siberian District of 27. 07.2009 N F04-4454 / 2009 (11072-A27-25)). The employer will have to find out the reasons for the violation of the deadlines for attendance. To do this, it is necessary to request a written explanation from the former employee. * (1) Thus, the establishment of the fact of failure to appear (untimely attendance) at the doctor's appointment is within the competence of the attending physician, but the decision as to whether this or that reason is the absence or violation of the regime, prescribed by a doctor, respectful, and, as a result, the decision to reduce the amount of benefits, in each case, is made by the employer. Currently, the criteria for assessing the validity of the reasons for failure to appear (untimely appearance) of the insured person for a medical examination are not legally established. http: //forum.garant.ru/? read, 9 ...
In the explanation to the employer, indicate the circumstances that caused the delay. With respect...
